Scotland is about layering. The weather changes every 10 minutes.

Im obsessed with the moon and space travel, so if I could incorporate that, Id love to go to space.

[Vice chairman of Barbour] Helen [Barbour] and I realized that I come from the same village that her ancestor John Barbour came from, who created Barbour. It just seemed like such a great connection.

It's hard to make a book episodic.

I've always been into endurance sport, which I think is more about your mind pushing your body, which is definitely why that Bear Grylls book sung to me.

I grew up in Scotland, and everyone wore Barbour. It's very practical, it's very outdoorsy. It's what the gamekeepers and the fishermen and the farmers would wear.

There's something about the silence of people listening to someone or watching someone - I just... I love that.
